BISSELL - Adapt Ion XRT Cordless Stick Vacuum - Cobalt Blue/Titanium

DESCRIPTION: This is perfect for me!!! Works like a charm and saves my back from a lot of pushing and pulling and bending. I have a bad back and have difficulty lifting and bending. I have a robo-vac that mops the floors and one that vacuums and picks up the dirt and dispenses it into its docking station. However, because the robo-vacs can’t go under certain things and get the corners, etc very well, this was the missing link! Although this was not created to actually handle all your vacuuming needs, it is very useful for spot pick-me-ups and in between a good all¬-around vacuuming. USAGE: I had a similar “other brand” stick vacuum and I absolutely loved it, but my daughter used it and unfortunately it stopped working. This “Stick” is a Bissell and Bissell is known for their reliability…as long as you use them as they are intended to be used. I don’t believe these are intended to be used in place of a regular vacuum, but are great for smaller jobs not whole house use. VERSATILITY: I LOVE that the handle bends into a handy position so I don’t have to bend much to get under anything. It is very light weight also. Unfortunately the hand vacuum tools cannot be stored on then unit itself, so put them in a safe place that you will remember where they are when needed. This vacuum comes off the handle to create the perfect handheld unit for vacuuming your car. How much easier it is to use without it having to be plugged in to an outlet. If it works as good as it does on low carpets, it will be great for vacuuming your car. GREAT FEATURE: Washable filter. Saves you money by not having to buy a new filter every few months. Just remember to keep it clean and don’t put it back into the machine until it is completely dry. BATTERY: Charging the battery takes quite a few hours (I didn’t time it), but if you are using it properly that charge can last you a few days to a month depending on how many times you need to use it for those little messes or if vacuuming your car.

I've had this a couple of weeks. So far so good. I wanted a cordless with detachable handheld vacuum that would also clean a couple of rugs and hardwood flooring. This is for a small guesthouse so this fits the bill. The battery stays charged as long as I need it and seems to recharge quickly. I also wanted it to stand on its own and not fall over when you have to move furniture while vacuuming, like most other top heavy units that are on the market. My only dislike is the bright royal blue ;-)...wish they offered it in a more muted color. Haven't had it long enough to judge the quality long term...hence the lower grade.

When i viewed this in the store, there was a base that the attachments fit on. I thought this was a good idea. Keep from losing or looking for them. But when I bought the vac, no base included. Was very disappointed. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Glad I made this purchase. Bed stands on legs, about a foot of the floor, this vacuum fits right under as it bends from 90 degrees upright to 180 degrees flat. Maneuvering this vacuum is very easy.

Review for BISSELL - Adapt Ion XRT Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum - Cobalt Blue/Titanium This vac is clearly based on the many ergonomic innovations found in Bissell’s Crosswave Cleaner. It’s light, very easy to maneuver, and loaded with useful features. I like how it moves around with a turn of the wrist and how the handle folds back to get under furniture. It folds the other way for easy storage. You can pull out the integrated hand vac for cleaning furniture and the pet fur attachment did a great job on dog hair before our Thanksgiving get together. This is not a “time to vacuum the house” appliance, but that said, it’s great to pull out for polishing up, sweeping up a mess, or last minute touchups. The 20 minute run time is more than sufficient for most such jobs. It’s small footprint makes it easy to store in a handy location for those quick pickups.

THE BATTERY ONLY LAST 20 MINUTES OR LESS HAS A ROLLER THAT REQUIERES DAILY CLEANI BUT OVER ALL IS GOOD BISSEL DESCONTINUED THE BOLT MODEL SO MUST USE THIS ONE

I just wanted something to clean up hair from the bathroom floor, kitty litter, etc quickly as easily. This has done great thus far! Very versatile and working great!

I’ve used it twice since I purchased it and so far, I’m very pleased! It picks up everything easily, carpet and hardwood
